Most of the gap between two katoris of the same dish is the oil. One teaspoon of oil or ghee (about 5 g) adds about 45 kcal, and a restaurant tadka or a cream finish can add several. Katoris also differ: a home katori can hold anything from 100 to 250 ml, so weigh yours once with water (1 ml is about 1 g) and use that number every time.
